BMW X3
The X3 is BMW’s midsized luxury SUV. Launched in 2018 and facelifted in 2022, the third-gen model offers more by way of comfort but retains the sporty appeal that has distinguished the X3 over the years. The BMW X3 engine and gearbox line-up has been rejigged a few times since its launch and is currently available with either a 190hp, 2.0-litre petrol engine or a 197hp, 2.0-litre petrol engine, with an 8-speed auto and AWD as standard.

The third-gen BMW X3 looks like a slightly smaller X5, which is not a bad thing at all. There is a link to other BMWs on the inside too and cabin quality is up there with the 5 Series. The X3’s cabin is fairly roomy and space at the back is good too, but the rear seat could have been more supportive. The 2.0-litre diesel engine should serve the needs of everyday buyers, but for those who want to get the most out of this SUV's able chassis, it's the 360hp M40i petrol that's the one to go for. The X3 can feel a bit lumpy on broken roads but ride quality, on the whole, is good. Even better is the handling. The good steering and nice balance make this an SUV you can really drive with verve.
Pros & Cons of BMW X3
We Like
- Long equipment list includes few class best features
- Absorbent low-speed ride is a big step up from older X3s
We Don't Like
- Petrol engine specifications are underwhelming
- Touchscreen is go-to control for too many functions; UI is confusing
